A TikToker posted a video of herself and her family being approached by a very angry woman who was upset the children were loud in a public place.
TikTok user @bamskye2426 were confronted by this woman in a "family-oriented spot" on Long Island. The woman is caught telling the parent "this is not the place" for her autistic children, who were laughing and playing at the table.
"The kids didn't have a tantrum. They didn't get up from their table. They didn't go to anybody else's tables to bother them. They didn't do any of the poor behaviors that this grown woman exhibited," mom said in another video.
TikTokers were horrified at the woman's behavior.

After the incident, the woman apparently demanded free food from the restaurant for the "disturbance" and received it.
"Notice another woman says 'get a free meal now' and the poor owner is here assuring us that we did nothing wrong and still all 6 kids are silent and adults are yelling," read the caption.

Later, @bamskye2426 addressed why she didn't get into further conflict with the woman.
"If I escalated the situation, I'd be contributing to any trauma my kids might be subconsciously absorbing from the screaming around them," she said.
"It's my job as a parent to keep my kids safe."

The situation thankfully resolved without too much trauma to the kids, and plenty of videos of the kids being nothing but adorable are on @bamskye2426's TikTok.
